Publisher's Synopsis
Harbouring dreams of love and literature, Jonathan Bertha is banished by his powerful father, and forced into exile to stalk the darkest alleyways of Mothsport. Hiding in the ruins of his once great mansion, he is discovered more than a year later by a young girl. Buried beneath strange maps, he raves about a route across the Silent Seas. But in the darkness, Jonathan Bertha is building something, something made of dead things, things that were best left untouched. A great vessel that he will sail in search of his lost fortune and true love. Aboard the great ship, the young girl learns that she must tell dark tales to the crew, as they sail ever closer to a land Jonathan's father strove to keep him from.
